Kid-Friendly Version

Serve the child a plain piece of fish, a small pile of potatoes, and a few green beans, all cut into small pieces and without the lemon-caper sauce.

Recipe

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

2

Halve the baby potatoes and trim the green beans.

child_care Set aside a small handful of green beans and a few potato halves for the child before proceeding.
3

Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, then add the green beans and cook for 3 more minutes until both are tender. Drain and set aside.

4

While the potatoes and beans cook, pat the sole fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, shaking off excess.

child_care Skip the pepper on the child's fillet; use just a pinch of salt.
5

In a large skillet, heat 15 ml olive oil and 15 g butter over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Cook the fillets for 2 minutes per side until golden and the fish flakes easily (internal temperature 60°C). Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.

child_care Cook the child's fillet separately or first, then set aside.
6

Reduce heat to medium, add the remaining 30 g butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the lemon juice and capers, scraping up any browned bits, and cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly.

child_care Skip the capers for the child; instead, drizzle a little plain melted butter over the fish.
7

Return the drained potatoes and green beans to the pot, add the remaining 15 ml olive oil, and toss over medium heat for 1 minute until warmed through. Season with a pinch of salt.

8

Plate the fish with the potatoes and green beans alongside, then spoon the lemon-caper butter sauce over the fish. Serve immediately.

child_care For the child, serve the plain fish, potatoes, and green beans without sauce. Cut everything into small, safe pieces.
